I really love the hero unit. It's a great example of an animation that tells a short story, and gives you a feel for the app.

First you see a flat rectangle with drag handles, which sets your expectation, 2D WYSIWYG editor.

The rectangle animates into a 4 sided cube, 2D becomes 3D, it's a 3D tool.

Then the cube breaks into 2 angle brackets, the output is just HTML and CSS.

I'm left with a nice little feeling :) Awesome work

Thanks! Actually I wasn't sure people will understand all the ideas I have put in this animation. But you have perfectly described what I wanted to tell, I'm impressed!
I had totally missed the fact that it ends as two angle brackets! Very smart logo and indeed very good way to introduce the product.
Me too, that's clever.
